Brother DCP-7040 Drivers Manual, Software Download, Scanner, Wireless Setup, Install, Windows 10, 8, 7, Mac Os, Linux – The Brother DCP-7040 is a compact and affordable, monochrome digital copier and laser printer, ideal for small offices or home offices. It combines crisp, high-quality laser copying, printing and colour scanning into a compact footprint, with print and copy speeds of up to 23 pages per minute. Additional features include a 35-page automatic document feeder for multi-page documents, a 250-sheet adjustable letter/legal-size paper tray and a single-sheet by-pass tray, ideal for letterhead, envelopes and thicker media. For connectivity, the DCP-7040 also includes a USB interface.

The unit’s reduction and enlargement functions allow N in 1 copying that is useful for squeezing multiple input pages onto a single page of output. Zoom ratios range from 25 to 400%. The device has a hefty automatic document feeder with a 35-page storage capacity which is ideal when making more than one copy in a single print transaction and can save drastic amounts of valuable time when compared with single page feeding.
With the ability to scan in both black and white and colour, the Brother DCP-7040 is great for capturing extremely detailed images. Its optical scan resolution runs at 600 x 2400 dots per inch and it’s maximum interpolated scan is 19200 x 19200 which is high enough for lab-quality photography, whether in colour or monochrome, while the MFC’s colour scan bit depth of 48 is also quite high. Though standard included memory totals only 12 MBs, this should prove to be plenty, considering the scope of the unit’s features. Memory expansion options are also available and accessible internally.
